Proper Rowing Machine Technique

A rowing machine is an excellent addition to any home gym. As a matter of fact, they’ve seen a huge resurgence in popularity after being featured on the HBO show, “House of Cards,” and rightly so! The rowing machine offers the user a lot of versatility in that it provides a great cardio workout by working all of the large muscle groups.
